Dr. Morris is a fellowship-trained and board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in shoulder and upper extremity, hand, microvascular surgery, and arthroscopic surgery. One of the most respected upper extremity surgeons in the Midwest, Dr. Morris practices in Wichita, Kansas as part of Advanced Orthopaedic Associates, a group of 16 highly skilled, orthopaedic surgeons–all committed to excellence in orthopaedic surgery.

The protocols are intended to be used as guidelines during therapy, not as substitutes for the instruction provided by a certified therapist. The videos are intended to complement the shoulder rehabilitation protocols.

The treatment protocols are formatted in PDF files which may be downloaded by therapists and by our patients. The steps during each phase of rehabilitation are clearly defined in simple language so that both therapist and patient understand the goals and expectations of treatment at all times.

The importance of physical therapy, particularly following shoulder surgery, cannot be overstated. We believe that a good surgical outcome requires a technically well done procedure as well as a good postoperative physical therapy program.

The postoperative protocols in this section have been designed for use by my patients after specific operations done by me. The protocols may or may not be appropriate for postop patients treated elsewhere.
